Parler got destroyed and fb gets what? A slap on the wrist
- waiseristy 6y agoFacebook self-hosts and answers only to themselves. Parler could have done the same if they wanted to host questionable content
- yostrovs 6y agoFacebook wasn't removed from apple and google play stores.
- segmondy 6y agoThe majority of Facebook users are not trying to use it to undermine an election result or throw over a government. That's the difference.
- UncleOxidant 6y agoMaybe not the majority, but what about total raw numbers of users? Parler was tiny compared to FB. If only 0.01% of FB users were trying to undermine/overthrow the election that's probably a lot more people than the total on Parler.
- FartyMcFarter 6y agoDoes Facebook moderate posts explicitly inciting violence?
- colejohnson66 6y agoNope. I’ve reported many of them and they say the posts don’t violate their “community standards”.
- 0xy 6y agoMore Facebook users than Parler call for violent and government overthrowing.
- cronix 6y agoParler had about 10 million users. You just painted 5+ million of them, which would be the majority of users you eluded to, with a very wide brush. Do you really believe that?
- waiseristy 6y agoThat's true, but Apple & Google can remove or decide not to remove any app for any reason. I don't think their decision to remove parler and leave Facebook is really all that surprising. Parler could have avoided destruction by being web-first and self hosted. They should have recognized the hostile (unfair) environment they were operating in
- bawolff 6y agoI don't really think they are in the same category.
- pnw_hazor 6y agoCorrect. FB is far more dangerous than Parler ever was.
- d3ad1ysp0rk 6y agoI have my problems with Facebook, but Parler didn't even TRY to keep violence inciting content away. Their solution at the very end was to hope some people would volunteer. That's simply not enough. Facebook doesn't do ENOUGH, but you can at least tell they're trying.
